Hi List I'm doing research into WILLIAM PICKERING and ELIZABETH WHITAKER, who came to Australia from Yorkshire England between 1880 and 1882. They were married in BURNLEY, LANCASHIRE in 1863 and had 5 children:- MARY E, JOHN, JOSEPH, JAMES, WILLIAM, and ELIZA, who were all born in England. They were all living in the Parramatta area. William died in 1888 in Dixon St. Parramatta and Elizabeth died in 1916 also in Parramatta. Anyone else doing research into this family would love to hear from you.
